 * This plugin installs WPForms Lite without authorization on the website. You can’t
   do this to force the installation of your other plugins. This is wrong!

 * Hi, [@montejan8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/montejan8/)
 * Thank you for sharing your honest feedback and I apologize for the confusion.
 * To directly address your concerns, WPForms cannot be installed without authorization.
   The option to install WPForms as an additional plugin is only available in our
   [Setup Wizard](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-use-the-wp-mail-smtp-setup-wizard/)
   and only if the [“Smart Contact Form”](https://a.supportally.com/i/jxqXTo) option
   is selected during the setup process.
 * I apologize that this came off as being forced, that absolutely was not our intention.
   We intended to provide a great starter tool for a popular/related need while 
   keeping the option to uncheck or uninstall WPForms if anyone was already using
   a different form plugin.
 * Thank you again for sharing your review. If you have any questions or further
   feedback about what I shared, please feel free to reply to me.
